This place has it all, great service, friendly staff, amazing views, great hot tubs, guest laundry, free wifi and plenty of privacy. Great location, right on the lake, close to town and surrounding attractions. Highly recommended!

We stayed one night while traveling down the island, gorgeous location, right on the lake, able to view the lake while having a spa, couldn't ask for better. The hosts were lovely and inviting, made us feel welcome as soon as we walked in. Super king bed that was super comfy, thank you for a great night

This accommodation is well located, very comfortable and very well managed. We stayed on two separated nights last week (a Tuesday and Thursday) and were given the same large well appointed room to give us a sense of home. A warm welcome, excellent room facilities, crisp bed linen and a lovely view of the lake made a very pleasant memory...

The room we stayed in was beautiful, clean and perfect. My partner and I went down to Taupo for a relaxing weekend away and that is what we had. The room we booked with The Cove was better than the photos! Everything looked and felt new, it was amazing to relax in the spa bath outside reading a book and...

So pleased you enjoyed a relaxing weekend here at The Cove. Thanks for such positive feedback which we pass on to all staff. Very encouraging. Thanks

We have stayed here twice now and both times have been absolutely wonderful and Jocelyn & Marcus (sorry on the spelling) do a wonderful job making people feel at home! The rooms are spotless, the beds are super comfortable, private hit tub off the room is bliss and the kitchenette area is well stocked with good coffee and teas... even...

Clean spacious room with great decor, loved the spa could be there all night .

Glad you enjoyed your stay at The Cove. Thank you for lovely positive feedback. Will pass on to staff. Regards Marcus & Jocelyn

We've stayed in four different accomodations in Taupo and The Cove is our absolute favourite mainly because of the clean and comfortable styled rooms and the private SPA each room gets. Its our favourite. The hosts are so lovely and most of the SKY channels are there if your partner is rugby mad like mine. Suitable kitchenette we hardly used...

Nice room plenty of room, well equipped kitchenette, private spa, great view, excellent staff.
Nice gentle flat waterfront walk to town.
Nice cafe for breakfast next door, opens at 7.30am so you can get an early start on the day.

Had a lovely room with a spa on the balcony. Bathroom was clean with bath and shower. Bed was huge and comfortable. The fold out couch in the lounge was ok for one night but wouldn't be keen to sleep on it for longer. Room was well appointed and overall very happy with our experience at the Cove.

In all my travel I have never experienced managers quite so rude. They are not people people and should find a new occupation. My stay played out like Faulty Towers. If you can be bothered read the below...but I don't recommend staying there currently.
I normally stay at the Millennium and have always had excellent service but unfortuantly their wheelchair...
